Herbal Cigarettes?

[phildo]

I've been looking online for real cigs and have come across some herbal cigs that seem interesting. One brand is called Dreams, and the other Ecstasy. Anybody heard or tried either one?

The reason you haven't read about these is because our administrator does not want smoking cigarettes discussed within the forum. This is a place for not smoking cigs -- herbal or tobacco. Just a thought, not a condemnation. But smoking tobacco is something that has been trashed as a topic in the past.

P.S. I smoke a pipe, but we won't be starting any "pipe smokers" section soon.

I guess I misinterpreted smoking alternatives to mean alternatives to smoking tobacco. smoking is still smoking...so ok.

I smoked the Ecstasy cigarettes before and they were horrible tasting and didn't give me any satisfaction. You'll get WAY MORE satisfaction from your ecigarette. If you really want to try them you can usually find them in a local tobacco smoke shop, but I would NOT recommend them. Immediately I started smoking regular cigarettes afterward and gave most of the herbal cigarettes away. You might as well roll up some dry catnip and smoke it. Please just stick with your e-cigarette.

Not wanting to press a topic against the will of mods etc, but I tried some honeybush herbal tobacco a while ago on the quest to give up smoking which was absolutely horrendous! Got me straight back on my regular tobacco as it tasted like rolled up horse manure... to be polite

Remember also - you're still smoking this stuff - there will be tars etc during the combustion process - the only difference: no nicotine and possibly less chemicals, but a risk all the same...

I sold The Exstacy Cigarettes at my Cigar shop about 2 years a ago and they taste horrible.. plus they have the smell of Cannibis in the cigarette.. Once again why would you want to buy something that smells like cannibis.. just doesn't make sense. I have Smoked the Dreams also they are more like cloves, very harsh and not very fullfilling (in my opinion) More for just show. The only natural Cigarettes that I have found that actually tasted good were Nat Sherman. but I'm not quite sure if they are ALL NATURAL or Not. I've been enjoying my Penstyle for over 3 weeks now and I would not want to go back to tobacco cigarettes again.

Well, was just curious. I've tried herbal pipe products before and found them to be atrocious...was figuring it was the same with these. Stuff makes your lungs hurt worse than real cigs. question answered.

I've tried a few of these herbal tobaccos, they all tasted foul to me and of course with no nicotine in them they did nothing to aid the cravings. If they have burning plant materials in them, they will produce carcinogens so I cant see the point of them.

Well, if anything we're condemning herbal cigarettes and pretty much all that isn't e-cigarettes.
